The term "telegraph" is used often when discussing a film, specifically how a film's plot or characters might "telegraph" certain themes or ideas in clever or moving ways.
Costumes are at the fabulous forefront of this idea: We'll often get a sense of just who a character might be even before they speak their first line or the cinematic world we're entering, by the clothing seen on screen.
Togs are a timeless way to help tell a memorable story, in short, something that has been true since the very first live plays were presented long ago.
